Align investment strategy with nonprofit mission & goals

Many nonprofits are considering investment outsourcing options, like fiduciary management, to help their investment portfolio better support their mission. A fiduciary manager can help the investment portfolio stay on track through:

An established program that brings leading independent institutional managers and significant economies of scale

An effective spending policy that protects the long-term viability of assets

A time-tested investment approach

We combine leading independent investment managers with differentiated investment processes to help achieve maximum diversification. Our investment professionals take on the responsibility of the research, selection, evaluation, and replacement of those managers. You leverage our extensive infrastructure – established process, experienced team, and innovative technology – in your investment portfolio with:

Timely decision-making that allows for prompt changes to take advantage of market swings

Simplified execution with managers on deck, ready to be included in the program

A dedicated team accountable for monitoring, oversight and due diligence on your behalf
